Dwindling property values in Ramapo

The fall of Ramapo continues. Why get approval to build when it is unnecessary? Whatever the Orthodox community wants, they get. They have President Bill Clinton to thank under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. The Town of Ramapo has become a disaster in the past 12-plus years since the law passed.

Another parcel will be tax exempt. We, the general public, will suffer the burden as housing values continue to drop. This will allow for more conversions in the future. Don't expect any politician to care since they have turned a blind eye for years. They know where their bread is buttered.

Ramapo, once beautiful, will be a giant Crown Heights, serving only one group.

Who in their right mind would buy a house in Ramapo? Who wants to put in sweat equity and worry will a house nearby be converted for hundreds of students? Will one of my largest investments go down the drain?
